Slow Cooker Chicken Soup is a comforting, immune-boosting dish that nourishes both body and mind. This recipe is perfect for reducing stress, calming the nervous system, releasing energy, and supporting DNA formation, making it a wonderful choice when you need gentle, healing nourishment. Slow cooking allows the flavors to develop fully while making the chicken incredibly tender and easy to digest, which is especially helpful if you’re managing inflammation or autoimmune conditions.

Chicken is a nutritional powerhouse, rich in vitamin B3, which supports heart health and energy metabolism. The darker meat of the chicken contains twice the amount of zinc and iron compared to the lighter meat, providing added immune support to help your body fight infections and stay strong. Meanwhile, the lighter chicken meat is packed with nutrients essential for building and maintaining strong bones, teeth, and tissues, making this soup a well-rounded source of nourishment.

Using a slow cooker to prepare this chicken soup means you can enjoy a deeply flavorful meal with minimal effort. The long, gentle cooking process draws out collagen and minerals from the bones and connective tissues, which are great for gut health and inflammation reduction. This makes the soup especially beneficial for anyone dealing with autoimmune diseases or chronic inflammation.

Slow Cooker Chicken Soup is not only soothing for your body but also satisfying to your taste buds. It’s a dish that combines healing with comfort, helping you feel calm and supported from the inside out. Whether you’re recovering from illness or simply want to nourish your immune system and reduce inflammation, this soup is a delicious and practical way to support your health every day.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole organic chicken or 4 organic chicken legs
  • 3 large organic carrots
  • 1 organic brown onion
  • 3 organic celery stalks
  • 1 bouquet garni
  • dried thyme
  • sea salt
  • pepper
  • vegetable or chicken stock pot (optional)

Directions

  1. Chop the vegetables roughly and trim off the excess fat and skin from the chicken.

  2. Put all the ingredients in the slow cooker and cover all the way to the top with filtered water. Cook for 6-8 hours.

  3. Take the chicken out and remove the bones and skin. Put the chicken meat back in. It is ready to be enjoyed!

Serving Tips

Pairs well with egg noodles for children, or konjac noodles, which have no carbs and are grain-free but full of fiber, for adults.
